She lived a tragic life, but her love flowed out of her voice. And I can only imagine how the great band members sorrowed for her addiction, but were amazed at her ability , her timing, her precious gift. I am so thankful to God for His mercy, and for letting her music live on for all generations to experience. Singular, unique, perfection. No one like her. I could run on and on, lol.
1 word Maybe 2 THE GREATEST xx❤xx Lady Day.The world needs one day off from there schedule and it should be on Billie’s birthday and collectively call it Lady Day
Love Billy ....Good Morning Heartache - Sit Down ...another era entirely ! Folk seem to believe they can do as they like nowadays! Maybe so ...though not around Me ! Am of a differing mindset entirely - I should come with an APPROACH WITH CARE REQUIRES CAREFUL HANDLING sign above my head! I had enough no good men for one lifetime, need a good one now or am all good by my ownsome ! Our Lass 💘👍X
She was Amazing a Gift from God .....Timeless .....I dont think of the tragedy I remember the Incredible feeling that comes over me when I hear her voice ......
@@chrisgjohnson134 Billie Holiday has a whole pace of her own that is unlike any other before or since you have to alter your own pace to get into her zone I just love that about listening to her sing I can never listen to The Lady and do something else also I have to stop and listen and merely LISTEN there is only ONE Billie Holiday and she is unlike any other ...I LOVE that The Lady can describe my own torment so perfectly and yet none would wish the life she had upon herself nor any other, but it helps to know that I aren't the only person to have ever felt that way and I FEEEEEEEL Billie Holiday and there is a kinship of the heart that I don't feel with ANY other singer not to that extent anyhow...Janice Joplin is another that I feel like I could have been friends with ...which makes me sad as she didn't feel she had any and nor do I.

God Bless Billie X No matter what, I could never live without music or words or self expression in some FORM ...I may not fit into this TIME , but as long as I can reach out into the World and find others that FEEL the way I do and write how I myself can feel or sing words that make sense to me I can FEEL PART OF THE WORLD AND FEEL LOVED AND CARED FOR as I may not be understood RIGHT NOW in THIS Now but as long I know somebody , somewhere at somepoint has felt the way I do then I know am part of the all and everything am HUMAN , just my heart is having a way too heavy time of it !

Amo a Billie Holiday como una de las mejores cantantes de todos los tiempos en su estilo único particular. sensual y poético con que canta y dice sus canciones .Me acompaña con su canto diariamente Gracias Billie inmortal.
Man what a blessing to the world , I can only hope she's aware how her words in her songs changed some folks lives for the better , as so many of these folks have done in my life , gods got her ❤
She captured the melancholy of the 40's...I see the Naked Boys around the Pools of Hollywood doing their Coke & Champagne, while she doing that Heroin & Singing...@ the Sadness of the Country & Her Personal Love Life hence the Words of "Strange Fruit" & "Don't Explain" Those who think she was overrated are judging from a Very Small View or chose to Not Acknowledge Billie Holidays Life...And Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder, " I Loved her sometimes flat notes " Thank You for Sharing her Journey which I feel We should Never Forget...
She was a Diva at one point of her life. She wasn’t shy about her body - she would sit in the dressing room with no clothes on. Her body and skin were beautiful she had no marks on her body at all. Men would come in and their mouths would drop. She was beautiful. I always see her beautiful even if it’s close to the end of her life. I’m too close to her life and death. Her life and death will haunt me the rest of my life.
Some people’s purposes is to serve differently , plus she was targeted because of her gifts and her reach to all colors and races. She spoke truth and lived her purpose . ❤
This music makes me feel like I ought get wise to myself, see? Take it on the square and face the music. Maybe hit the street, head down to the corner bar on 2nd and 83rd, under the "el", you know the one. Next door to the German Sausage store, and Zerschmecklers candy store in the back. You know, the one that runs the neighborhood numbers game? I'll saunter on into the bar and ask the barkeep, Schmitt, for a stiff one. Not to tie one on, mind you, just to fortify me and keep the DTs at bay. I have to yell cause overhead, another trains rumbling up 2nd avenue. Ol' Schmitt brings me a nice shot of Bourbon, Canadian, Seagrams I think it is. Not the rot gut pre-Volstead stuff he's still pawning off on us. I tilt the glass into my head, feeling the biting relief of Kentucky. The whisky eases down my gullet, filling my inner core with that familiar warmth. Soon the bracing sting fades, giving way to a wonderful new mood. It washes over me like the euphoria of new love. I look around the bar room with newfound confidence. Drinking with me are a sampling of regulars; Gus the mailman, Stella, the hardup mama looking to make a casual score. She's probably trying to make rent again, poor thing. Next to her a familiar face I can't place. He's ogling her, no doubt with a hopeful heart. His shoes a mess, his suit, shiny and shapeless. Where the hell have I seen that guy? In the neighborhood somewhere, I've seen this guy. Then I remembered, the rooming house, East 84th, 2 years ago. He had small furnished room on the 3rd floor. Mrs Monahan was always on him about taking too long on the house phone. Funny the things you remember.
Wow... I feel so much truth in your words... So much feelings... Feelings I feel, listening to the lady up there. Like I'm in that bar, taking a sip of my whisky, hoping no one will disturb me from my melancholy. I just want to feel life, and in the same way, not being alive at least, for the rest of them... Those who don't feel the music as I am, as you are. In a way that reminded us some long lost life... An other life, an other time, where we were different but oddly, morbidly, the same... Hoping that outside the bar, it's raining. It could explain the clouds in my views... Ho, I wish it could explain the copper taste in my mouth as I sip my whisky... Maybe i'm going mad... Maybe the world is upside down, already... And here I am, smiling in rythm with Billie and thinking about a stranger whom I could have read their thoughts... Beautiful song, beautiful planet...
You know some people lie straight through their teeth like they can't stand telling the truth and sometimes it does hurt to tell the truth about a situation but you know what that was a beautiful lady and I applaud her and everything that she has ever done makaveli in this
My Mother told me of her and I'm So glad to know the pasts vocalists.They need to be more acknowledged to the youths of tomorrow. I'm So glad my mother informed me of The Greats,like Ms.Holiday and So many more into my world. I Will Never forget Mom or her Treasures,now Mine as well.
Always loved her always when I was I think I was about four and then I got real Billie Holiday music and started listening. I always went through phases because I always wanted to be a musician, but I strongly identified with that in that particular song good morning heartache I used to see it on the machine and her and Ella Fitzgerald
Nella foto è la Billye del successo. Ma da ragazza, prima e durante la seconda guerra? Allora anche Frank Sinatra era un grande... Queste musiche, con orchestrona famosa, è della sua fine, anziana non aveva più voce perché... Non è questa la vera Billye Holiday.
Billie and Ella Fitzgerald..are my female hero s in Jazz..I have a scottie her name is Ella Fitzgerald..my next female scottie..yulp Billie....Im off to cook in my kitchen..and give this a listen
There is no one like Ms. Holiday.
💯
Billie Holiday lived inside the songs .
she absolutely did ,she was sent to us from Heaven ...
She lived a tragic life, but her love flowed out of her voice. And I can only imagine how the great band members sorrowed for her addiction, but were amazed at her ability , her timing, her precious gift. I am so thankful to God for His mercy, and for letting her music live on for all generations to experience. Singular, unique, perfection. No one like her. I could run on and on, lol.

Raw and pain evident in most of her songs .. brilliant and strangely only made in America
I look up and tell her I love her every night.
The best ever!

I adore Big Stuff
So unique So Billie Holiday,greetings from this Jazz Cat in La Ceiba.Republic of Honduras.Central America.
C est la voix de l'amour qui nous fait retrouver toute chose perdue dans ce monde cruel et injuste
You know some people lie straight through their teeth like they can't stand telling the truth and sometimes it does hurt to tell the truth about a situation but you know what that was a beautiful lady and I applaud her and everything that she has ever done makaveli in this
I'm glad they lied about my dad. He told me later what happened. Growing up as a kid it was better to believe the lie.
Sweet music to my ears . Ain't nobody got this soul but Billie Holiday. The woman paved the way. ...Way before ...... Anyone. Original
My Mother told me of her and I'm So glad to know the pasts vocalists.They need to be more acknowledged to the youths of tomorrow. I'm So glad my mother informed me of The Greats,like Ms.Holiday and So many more into my world. I Will Never forget Mom or her Treasures,now Mine as well.
i still have this cd collection from like 1995 love it , now i can sve my disc and stream here thank ye
Her music reflects the signs of her time, ( Strange Fruit) which were very sad and unhappy and dark. Also all the pain she endured in her life.
Thanks
